Hungry For The Good Life! (552)

The Gluttonous Swinub at Mr. Backlot's!

On their travels, Ash & Co. arrive at the Pokémon Mansion owned by Mr. Backlot. When they arrive there, they meet a wild Swinub whom eats all the food that they cooked...to make matters worse, Team Rocket arrive intent on capturing all the Pokémon in the garden including Ash & Co.'s Pokémon. Can Ash & Co. save their Pokémon and stop Swinub from eating all the food?

The very first day when I saw Swinub, I thought it was going to be Brock's. Too bad Dawn caught it. Anyway, I guess I'll have to deal with it. :l Also, as I said in the other thread, I really liked the maid's outfit ^^. It looked pretty. <3

well still he had 4 in the end of the 3rd gen seires. and i think he should have another 4-5 in the end of 4th gen serires, so only 1-2 more pokemon for him to get. ryhorn is a good opion and swinub should have been his.

Well, after watching this episode, I can say that Dawn really deserved Swinub.

She was the one who had the idea to feed it, she was the one that tried to save it and the other Pokemon when Ash feel off the TR Mecha, and she was the one who battled with it to stop Team Rocket. Brock...did nothing of interest besides that loud "SATOSHIIIII!".

And talk about never seen Pokemon, when's the last time we saw Igglybuff and Cleffa, AKA "the Johto baby rejects"? Seeing Pichu and Azuril was cool. And we had Paul's Elekid for a while. So what are they waiting for with Magby?

Overall, a pretty fun episode, and Dawn has a nice future powerhouse.

Of the three episodes involving Swinub, this was probably the best, which isn't saying too much considering how this felt like a fairly standard capture episode. A few notable points, however:

- Yanmega's alive. I seriously had my doubts until now.
- Pardon me if I forgot my laws of physics, but how do Carnivine and Yanmega get frozen in two separate chunks of ice in one scene, then merge into one chunk in the next?
- I already hate how adorable Swinub is. Unlike Munchlax, who I could hate for being shoved in my face at every possible advertising opportunity, I hate Swinub for its charm.
- Good to see Shimura experimenting with some wackier designs and poses, even if the coloring and motion fluidity isn't up to snuff with this series' best.

And I leave you all with this comforting thought:
First came Dawn catching Buizel. People b****ed. Then came the trade. People b****ed. Then came Ash catching Gligar. People b****ed. Then came Ash not catching Riolu. People b****ed. Then came Pikachu not evolving. People b****ed. Then came Dawn beating May. People b****ed. Now comes Dawn catching Swinub. People are already b****ing.

Lesson learned? Sinnoh - It's b****in'.

the only one of those that i would b***h about is ash getting a riolu. i dont think he is suited for it. adn i hate dawn for getting a swinub. i hate them both. i hate ash too. brock is the only cool one of the 3. poor gliscor having a trainer like ash. ohwell

It was a quite funny episode to be honest...and for one moment i thought piplup was going to sleep again in his pokeball for a while before i saw him in the ground next to dawn...
Is piplup going to be the pikachu of 4th gen anime?
We know that Swinub knows Take down and Ice Shard
Asuming the game is accurate to the level,that swinub should be at least in level 32,so it might even evolve soon after the 11th movie ppl!
